NineElmsNigel Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Years ago I had a Gaugemaster controller with a separate 'Inertia' simulating control - I have to say, compared with the standard controller mode the trains moved so much smoother and more realistically. Apparently, this function can be easily incorporated in my proposed Radio Control system but I just wondered how many modellers use this feature in DC and DCC ....

george356 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I use it in DCC on my garden railway (and when I have the space the garden trains will become indoor trains too) Inertia/momentum is just a matter of tweaking some CV's (CV3 is starting momentum, CV4 is stopping momentum). By default these are factory set to 0, meaning as soon as the starting voltage for the motor is reached it will begin to turn. Setting CV3&4 to a value higher than 0 will introduce inertia/momentum.

traingeekboy Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah DCC really adds to the train running experience. Inertia, being able to slave locos together, oh and sound decoders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
